Brooks House of Barbecue is one of the most beloved restaurants in Oneonta, with some of the tastiest barbecue food that you will ever taste. If you're a lover of barbecued chicken, you will definitely want to try a big plate of theirs, and we think that a heaping plate of fixings from their fresh and crisp salad bar is the perfect pairing with that! Note that you'll always find yourself waiting in line here, which is one of our personal pet peeves, but the lines are never longer than five minutes or so, so it flies by. Not a problem at all. We love the meal that includes a quarter of a chicken, pulled pork, access to the salad bar, fresh bread, and a drink. It's just a little more than a ten spot. Where else can you get that much food for this low cost? We love it here and we know you will too!

The Autumn Cafe is a really lovely place to go for a romantic evening with your loved one, or even for a cozy dinner with family or friends. It's so comfortable, you'll feel like you're at home. So warm and friendly. Of course the staff has a hand in making it feel that way, because they are so welcoming and happy to see you whether you're a regular or a brand new customer. The beer selection here is REALLY noteworthy. We love the enchiladas here, and the crab cakes are fantastic too! Really wonderful guacamole too! It's great to come in on the weekends and enjoy their crisp refreshing bellinis on that outdoor deck. There is nothing better than that. Very highly recommended.

Neptune Diner is one of those little diners that feels like a leftover from the fifties, and we love it! They have some of the best diner fare we have ever had the pleasure of eating. What kind of diner serves a delicious Cuban panini? Mmm. It's so good. Of course they've also got all your standard diner favorites like hamburgers and onion rings, and when you take a peek into those dessert cases you'll really fall in love! If you come in for breakfast, you can get a hearty amount of eggs, breakfast meats, and toast, and the prices aren't too bad here either. Definitely higher than most diners, but again, the quality is higher than most diners too. This is also one of the few places that stays open past ten! So if you're looking for a late night after-bar spot, this is it.

The Depot is just too addictive. We're really hooked on those amazing garbage wings. Don't let that name put you off, they are amazing! They don't have a lot of beers on draft here, but they have a really huge selection of bottled beers which we really enjoy. They're also known for their delicious wimpy burgers, and of course their wonderful pizza and curly fries. They make their own fresh bleu cheese dressing here too, and since we're big fans of the bleu, we really appreciate that. Their spinach and artichoke dip is also really wonderful! The amount of food that you get for such a low price is also noteworthy. Very highly recommended!

Undercover Eggplant is known for its amazing sandwiches. We are big fans of the one that is piled high with chicken, artichokes, red onions, greens, and cheese. That flavor is just unbelievable. They also have a chicken sandwich that's piled high with hot peppers, pepper cheese, and onions. All of those flavors are the reason that we find ourselves here time and time again. For a side, we would very highly recommend the macaroni salad. It's always good, and we can never resist it! They have a very nice selection of drinks here, including the HFCS-free variety plus natural juices! Gotta love that. Decent prices here too, and such great service and ambiance. Always a great dining experience here.

Mama Nina's Oneonta Pizza is another pizzeria in the Oneonta area that we just couldn't bear to leave off this list. They always have such a friendly staff here though it does change frequently since a lot of them are high school students who move on to college shortly after. We really love to get their stromboli here, it's enormous and so flavorful. The big news here is that they have done some renovations in recent years and it looks very nice. Always good to upgrade something that's already good! Try the seafood fra diavolo and the eggplant rollatini. These are two of our favorite items on the menu and you just can't beat that for dinner. Grab a pizza to go with that too and you'll have plenty of leftovers for later on! One of the top choices on this list, without a doubt.

Athens Greek Restaurant is a great place to go for some Greek food that's authentic, inexpensive, and incredibly good. We really love their gyros here that are packed with all the essential fillings and smothered in that delicious cucumber sauce that makes them over-the-top good! They have wonderful fries too, and really good falafel. They've got a very nice patio that you'll want to enjoy when the weather is good, and something that goes along so well with that warm weather is an ice cold beer, of which they have a very nice selection! We really think you'll enjoy this place anytime you're in the Oneonta area, so that's why we're recommending it to you here. Wonderful moussaka too!

Corfu Diner is just a very cozy little diner with traditional diner food that everybody loves. We are big fans of it because of that salad bar, which is always kept fresh and crisp. The food is super cheap here, so you can definitely save a few bucks while fueling up in the middle of a long day. Try the hamburgers and sandwiches, they are all generously sized and really tasty. We also enjoy their eggs and breakfast dishes. It doesn't matter what time of day you come in, you will be able to find something that will satisfy you completely. Interesting Greek and Thai selections too! Good service and a laid back atmosphere. You'll be surprised that the staff will remember you even if a long time passes between visits.  Good people, good food, good atmosphere!

Stella Luna Ristorante is the place to go in Oneonta if you are craving delicious Italian food in a cozy atmosphere. They keep it pretty traditional here with the kind of decor you'd expect at a nice Italian restaurant. The menu is pretty traditional as well, with all your favorites plus maybe a couple of unusual surprises. We especially enjoy the lunch special which won't break your budget. You get  soup and salad or a hearty sandwich, and it's just under six dollars for the whole shebang. We love the oricchete here, and the shrimp scampi is really delicious too. Very nice sole and other fish entrees too. The service is very good, and we'd recommend this for a relaxed dinner with friends anytime. Always a good time here.

Morey's Family Restaurant & Catering has always been a comfortable place to dine, and we have also heard that they have really good catering services. Breakfast is our meal of choice here, and we love having the ham and cheese omelette the best, as well as the delicious stacked pancakes! So good. If you're a fan of potato pancakes they have some really good ones here, and they taste really good with the applesauce that comes with them. They do the bacon extra crispy here, which isn't usually the way we like it, but it's very good. Very unique decor here including doll houses. You won't find this kind of ambiance anywhere else. We almost forgot to mention that delicious spinach omelette--be sure to give that one a try next time you're in Oneonta! Very highly recommended, it's so very tasty and good.
